Season 9 UK Team Championship
Paulie_D:
Let us not forget that one of the primary purposes of the Team event is/was to encourage those forums who haven"t previously experienced an APAT event to come along and find out how awesome it is.
Established forums and groups who have already done so aren"t the target "market" here...we"ve already got them...we"re after more and fresher blood..so to speak.
This event isn"t a reward for members for supporting APAT throughout the year [ that"s it"s own reward :) ] it"s a promotional event to attract new members. If established teams & groups get in as well, that"s a bonus for them.

Take it back to 10 man teams and drop all the fake communities. Stick to the reliable teams who can actually string a team together and give the best atmosphere for the event.
Trying to please everyone never does anyone any good.

A lot of sense in this.
It is without doubt a great event and we all enjoy it, but one of the most disappointing things has been the reluctance of some" teams" that are accepted into the event, to play any other APAT events throughout the year.
I accept that not everyone can play every event but preference has to be given to those who support the tour as a whole, not just once a year, which would hopefully encourage more participation at other events, from those teams.

Good post
I agree

I"d be interested to know what are considered "fake communities" - eg take the UK Team Event in Season 8, or Season 7?
and "Stick to the reliable teams who can actually string a team together" - you mean the teams who turned up to Season 8 event, or Season 7 event etc?
or the one team who had to drop out of Season 8 (and got replaced in plenty of time)?
and advice on how to identify "who will drop out" - ie not be able to string a team together, would be very welcome.
or am I missing the point?

Having re-thought this I see the point Tom makes and the one Paulie added below. To be fair Des, Tom and everybody at APAT have always said this does need to be established poker communities and have stuck to this when looking at entries. Looking at the team list last year supports this. we all want APAT to succeed and getting new people to the events will help with that, perhaps some will not play other events but some will and that is a good thing.
